The texas state app can be convenient for looking at TRACS to get your assignments and checking your bobcat mail. DO NOT RELY on the bus shuttle part of the app though. It has insane glitches and I was 15 minutes late for my first day of class because the GPS on the buses were wrong. When the buses are coming 10-15 minutes later than what the" real time" tracking says it is then there is a problem!

Great app Great app but the bus arrival times aren't correct, have to judge how long based on where it is on the map. Although they are working on it. Aside from that the convenience of checking all my bobcat stuff is awesome from grade to mail. And all the little extras.

No bus routes Not sure if it's a first day of school glitch, but neither Android no iOS apps are showing bus or route info.

Good app, but the Bus/shuttle app needs work. Estimate arrival time is almost never accurate.

It doesn't get any fresher than this! KTSW IS THE RADIO STATION I WAS LOOKING FOR WHEN GOING TO SWTSU IN 1974. WE HAD TO SETTLE ON KLBJ AND HIT THE BONG.

Hi Jay, Sorry you experienced a problem with the app. Our developers would like to take a look at your phone as we're unable to reproduce the problem. Can you email us at mobilefeedback@txstate.edu so we can get this figured out?

No bus routes Not sure if it's a first day of school glitch, but neither Android no iOS apps are showing bus or route info.

Tram tracking unreliable The main thing I use the app for is to see when the trams are coming. The app has never been very precise about tram postion, but since this new version came out this school year, it has been even worse. You never know when a tram is on the way until you see it. I use the Wonder World route, and the times of arrival are usually random regardless of the tram's actual location. You can follow the bus icon on the map and guesstimate when it will arrive, but the icon will sometimes disappear. Please fix.

Thanks for the feedback Jacob. Shuttle bus time estimates should improve in the next 4 weeks. It takes about 6 weeks of actual bus route data to form accurate time estimates. You can email us at mobile feedback@txstate.edu if you encounter any other issues.

Tram tracking doesn't work It always says the tram is 1 minute away and then I'm out there waiting for 30 minutes. Or it says 50 minutes and the next second it says 13 min. Either way, the time is never accurate.

Data hog Ate up over a gigabyte of data in a week. I now have half a gig to get me through the next two weeks. Thanks, TxSt.

Hi Lily. We'd like to figure out why this happened. We identified and fixed a bug with the KTSW portion of the app last week. Did you use the KTSW part of the app? Can you email us at mobilefeedback@txstate.edu so we can learn more? Thanks!

Love this app This app has all you need to help you out during those first few weeks of school.

TRACS would have to be it's own app. MAYBE I used to work at ITS for a year and a half, debugging new TRACS versions. Trust me, the complexity of converting ALL TRACS functions, especially instructor versions, into an app is ridiculous. Think about all the functions that would not translate well into a mobile app: [creating] study skills modules in an app, [creating] assessments in an app, importing grades from Excel into an app, the list goes on. The engine that TRACS runs on, Sakai, has much more functionality than a professor would ever want on a phone. Their phones would die before being able to get anything done. If anything, a "TRACS" app would work best if it was just a Student version, with only a few options included, like: Announcements, Calendar, Gradebook, Mailtool, maybe Resources.
